In October 2019, Motorola announced the Moto G8 Plus and Moto G8 Play phones with waterdrop notch screens. Last month, the Lenovo-owned company announced the Moto G8 Power (known as Moto G Power in the U.S.) and Moto G Stylus smartphones. However, the vanilla Moto G8 had been missing from the scene. The Moto G8 has finally gone official with a punch-hole display and triple rear cameras in Brazil. Here is all the information on the specs, features and pricing of the Moto G8.
Moto G8 Specifications and Features
The Moto G8 has a 6.4-inch IPS LCD panel. The 720p+ resolution supporting screen has a punch-hole at its top-left corner which serves as the home for its 8-megapixel selfie camera. The Snapdragon 665 which fuels the G8 Plus and G8 Power also drives the Moto G8 along with 4 GB of RAM.
The native storage offered by Moto G8 is 64 GB. The phone runs on near stock edition of Android 10 OS. The phone is backed by a 4,000mAh battery and it supports only 10W charging through USB-C.
The Moto G8’s rear-facing triple camera system has a 16-megapixel main lens, a 119-degree 8-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The rear cameras are coupled with laser autofocus and LED flash. The Moto G8 supports 4K video shooting at 30fps. The rear-positioned Motorola logo doubles as a fingerprint reader. The usual connectivity features like dual SIM support, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, GPS and 3.5mm audio jack are also available on the Moto G8.
